229 Words
Ethan Mwangi arrived on the bustling university located in the outskirts of a small urban town; his heart pounding with pleasure ,excitement and trepidation. The new institution was a world different from the primitive traditional village.Again, modern infrastructure described the institution better, meanwhile,students bustled about, their chatter blending with new diverse personalities.
Clutching his suitcase in one hand and a folder of admission documents in the other, Ethan paused to take it all in. This was it—the place where dreams were made, where he’d carve a path not just for himself but for his entire family. His parents had sacrificed so much to see him here, and he couldn’t let them down.
“Lost already?” a cheerful voice cut through his thoughts. Ethan turned to see a young woman standing a few feet away, her braided hair catching the sunlight. She wore a bright smile and a lanyard that read Orientation Volunteer.
“I guess you could say that,” Ethan replied sheepishly.
“I’m Sophia,” she said, extending a hand. “Welcome to campus. Need help finding your way?”
Ethan shook her hand, feeling a spark of warmth he couldn’t quite explain. “Thanks, Sophia. I could definitely use some guidance.”
Little did Ethan know, this seemingly innocent encounter would mark the beginning of a journey that would change his life forever.
